Who fed it? Hmmmm ...
Hillary. If the dems do well in the mid-terms, Hillary's shot at POTUS actually decreases because of the backlash that will come after the prolonged hearings and threats to cut off funding to the Iraq War. Hillary benefits much more from being able to criticize than from having to explain. Warner is gone, Kerry is toast, who's left? Algore? Barak Obama? Hillary's only chance to win is to foment a tremendous amount of dissatisfaction with the admin in power. The only way that works is if the admin in power is Republican.
